bg_BG Translation causing an slug error

Hi. Thanks for your detailed question.

How about using the gettext filter for your desired customization?

What I understand from gettext filter is that I can change some of the translations, one by one.
But I have like 200-300 that I want changed. As I said, some are not translated, and with some translations I don’t agree (for example in day view the selected date label “Day Of” is translated “почивен ден” which means “holiday”).
That is why I made my .mo and .po files.
But they don’t load. And I don’t want to upload them every time I update the plugin.

My question is: is there a folder in which when I put my .mo and .po files, they will load instead of those in plugins/the-events-calendar/lang?

Hey @sne_ejo,

There’s no easy way of doing this. You’ll need to custom code a work around to load an alternative translation. I guess it’s a rather complicated path, but of course you can do so.

I think it might be best to collaborate with the correct translation of the plugin and suggest changes for the strings you don’t see fit (or create overrides as Cliff noted). Here’s the code for adding ‘string overrides’:

function tribe_custom_theme_text ( $translations, $text, $domain ) {

	$custom_text = array(
		'Website:' => 'Site:'
	);

	if(strpos($domain, 'the-events-calendar') === 0 && array_key_exists($text, $custom_text) ) {
		$text = $custom_text[$text];
	}

	return $text;
}
add_filter('gettext', 'tribe_custom_theme_text', 20, 3);

Please go over this guide about Translating The Events Calendar.

Best,
Nico
